These are all well known names in the world of computers, but the most important name is the legendary Gary Kildal founder of Digital Research. This guy wrote the operating system CP/M and it is arguable that all else that followed in the mini/micro computing world is down to him. He fought a technological battle with Microsoft in the early 80's but his heart was always in the acedemic world. Sadly no longer with us.

Subject: Unix
it gives a little insight in UNIX and how things worked on PC 1985. Yet the view on the system itself is rather fast and does not present any deep insights.
I way quite amused of the way the commands in the shell are presented; you could hardly see something. But it is a good video, shwoing how Unix was used in 1985.
